I am currently reading Evgeny Morozov’s new book, To Save Everything, Click Here: The Folly of Technological Solutionism (you can find my review of Morozov’s previous book, The Net Delusion here. In this brief interview, he explains how the impact of companies such as Facebook and Google is far from neutral politically, and how the concept of “openness” should be critically examined rather than embraced unquestionably, hence his concept of “open-washing” (think green-washing or white-washing). I think Morozov is one of the most interesting thinkers on the relationship between technology, ideology and society. Check it out.
